Hi
I encountered the following two problems after installing Suse 9.3, which I suspect are caused by KDE 3.4:
1. On boot up the login screen is very different. I am presented with a plain white screen which states
Welcome at Computername Login: Password:
I don't like this login screen and prefer the previous one in Suse 9.2 which is more colourful. How do I change the login screen?
This is a common problem. See <http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/04/dregen_xdm93.html> for the simple solution.
Another problem is that in the lower left hand corner of the login screen is a console log for the computer. This xconsole stays open when I log on and needs to be closed manually. Any ideas on how to prevent it from appearing?
2. Shut down
It's the same issue as the previous problem.
Clicking on Logout provides only one option - "End current session". Clicking on "End current session" returns me to the login screen. There is no option to shut down the computer.
What needs to be done to ensure that the computer shuts down properly without me having to do it manually?
Type CTRL-ALT-F1. Log in as root. Enter the command "shutdown -r now". Do this after applying the fix described in the aforementioned SuSE Support Database page. Randall Schulz
